This week (2/09/09 through 2/15/09) on Work Matters we talk about staying strong in hard times.

Unnerving headlines. Rising unemployment. Economic Crisis. How do you cope with these difficult times? I discuss options of how to create a positive reaction with two guests.

First,Steve Rizzo, motivational speaker and bestselling author of Becoming a Humor Being: The Power to Choose a Better Way, then,Gabriella Goddard, author of GULP! The 7 day Crash Course to Master Fear and Break Through Any Challenge join me to discuss those Gulp! moments in life, and how to face the challenges we may not choose and work through change.
